Listening to Trudeau makes my skin crawl, however, I've never been a fan of the conservatives either as I remember the Harper government. They gave some upper class tax cuts for soccer mom's, petty cruelty service cuts to the elderly, disabled and veterans (& of course the usual losers but that just makes them break into my stuff more) So I'm curious as to what you think electing a conservative government will do specifically for Us? As far as I know, everyone making less than $100,000 gets a carbon CHQ (I make over the cutoff so I have never seen a check. I'll actually get a tax break), once the cons are elected people won't get that anymore as the cons have said they're going to end many programs and they're going to slash government spending which generally means that you will be paying more for services while also not receiving the carbon chq anymore either? So just in terms of a day-to-day quality of life situation, what do you actually expect will be the difference? I know Pierre said he'd make it possible to buy a home in Vancouver where I live by "stopping the gatekeepers" which sounds cool of course cuz who doesn't want that but it doesn't actually make any sense as it doesn't say how? I mean do you think Pierre is having homeless veterans put into the house next to his place LOL!?
I get hating Trudeau is enjoyable cuz he really sucks bad but I just don't see how the conservatives are any different? Pierre Poillevre was in government for almost 10 years and didn't deal with any of this except deregulation of oil and gas industry that allows the pollution of rivers and lakes which is fine I guess but that's less than 10% of the economy?(*Over 70% of major shareholders in Canada's largest oil companies are foreign so most money leaves Canada) Great for his donors I suppose but even when they did it last time housing still went up almost 50% on his and Harper's watch? Anyways, I'm really hoping I'm missing something because this isn't looking good, feels like we're going from the frying pan and into the fire. Please give me ANYTHING TO HOPE FOR, PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Good luck everyone & Thanks!

MEMORIES ARE SHORT!!!!! but I remember how the conservatives "balanced the budget" on the backs of the amazing men and women of the Canadian armed services.
Maybe they don't think our soldiers deserve to be treated decently but I do. There are other services cuts as well and tax breaks for big business, just google it.
Canadian Veterans ABC Campaign 2015
Aug 17, 2015, 08:00 ET
OTTAWA, Aug. 17, 2015 /CNW/ - Frustrated by years of cutbacks and lack of support for returning soldiers, Canada's veterans are taking their battle to the political arena. They are calling on Canadians to support veterans by voting against Stephen Harper's Conservative government on Oct 19, 2015.
"This is our time to put the terrible treatment of Canada's heroes on the political landscape," said veteran Tom Beaver. "We want every Canadian to know the suffering injured veterans have experienced under Stephen Harper. Our voices must be heard."
The veterans are rallying under the banner of Anyone But Conservatives — Canadian Veterans Campaign 2015. This campaign will also feature social media, a web page, billboards and attendance at public meetings to raise veterans' issues. In the past week the campaign reached two million Canadians on Facebook.
Despite its rhetoric about supporting our military, the Harper government has consistently taken actions to the detriment of veterans including:
Legislated away the right for injured veterans to receive a lifetime pension, substituting a lump sum payment. This leaves many injured veterans in poverty, many with few job prospects;
Saved $3.9 million by closing nine Veteran Affairs offices while having the gall to spend $4.5 million for Hockey Night in Canada TV ads to tell Canadians how great a job they are doing to help veterans;
Cut the veterans affairs workforce by more than 20 per cent (900 jobs) and clawed back $1.13 billion in unspent funds since 2006.
And Pierre Polllievere voted for all of this.

Trudeau obviously sucks BUT
During the last time Polllievere was in office under Harper, the average home price went from $225000 to $512000. This snake oil salesman would have you believe two things are true at the same time; your home, you're most valuable asset will go up in value for all the elderly conservative voters out there BUT at the same time he's going to drive down prices so that homes are affordable in Vancouver. So which is it PP?
This is pretty much like everything he says, vague rhetoric, zero actual policies that can be measured in a meaningful way and the usual misleading information. I get it, hating Trudeau is super easy. He has one of the most punchable faces in the world, but that doesn't make Pierre anything that he says. The conservatives have a very, very, long history of campaigning to the shop workers and delivering for the campaign donors and the corporations they serve. Unfortunately, we have a choice between the s*** sandwich that is Trudeau or a giant douche who will do pretty much the same thing except with more service cuts and petty cruelty to the poor.
Gotta pick one!?!?
The system works. Let's stop supporting it. Vote a third party, not the corporate duopoly.
